New Testament

Leviticus 27:21-27 Common English Bible (CEB)

21. When the piece of land is released in the Jubilee year, it will be holy to the Lord like a piece of devoted land; it will be the priest’s property.

22. If the person dedicates land they purchased to the Lord—land that is not part of their family property—

23. the priest will calculate the amount of its value until the Jubilee year. The person must pay the value on that day as a holy donation to the Lord.

24. In the Jubilee year the piece of land will return to the seller, to the one who is the original owner of the family property.

25. Every value will be according to the sanctuary’s shekel. The shekel will be twenty gerahs.

26. But note that a person cannot dedicate any oldest offspring from livestock, which already belongs to the Lord because it is the oldest. Whether ox or sheep, it belongs to the Lord.

27. If it is an unclean animal, it may be bought back at its value plus twenty percent. If it is not bought back, it will be sold at its set value.
